How do you secure a slingshot?

Could you please elaborate on the process of securing a slingshot? Is it simply about storing it in a SAFE place or does it involve additional steps like locking it up or using a specific type of container? Are there any specific safety precautions that one should take when securing a slingshot to ensure that it doesn't pose a threat to anyone, including children or pets? Additionally, are there any legal considerations that one should be aware of when it comes to owning and securing a slingshot? Thank you for your time and consideration.
